Goals — the players who score most often
Goals is the biggest player market in the Championship bet builder, and the one most builders are built around. SharpXI shows how often each player has actually scored — the raw record across every finished match, not a projection.
How these numbers are built
Two numbers, both counted rather than estimated. The per-90 rate is goals divided by minutes played, times ninety, across the season, with a 450-minute minimum so a single substitute appearance cannot top the table. The 1+ hit rate is the share of appearances in which the player scored at least once. Nothing here is shrunk, recency-weighted or adjusted for the opponent — those steps belong to the markets SharpXI models, and goals is not one of them.

How to read them
The hit rate is the more useful of the two for a builder leg, because a leg either lands or it does not. A high per-90 rate built on thin minutes flatters a player whose hit rate is modest, which is why the table ranks by hit rate first. Read both columns together, and treat a small appearance count with care.

Frequently asked
Does SharpXI publish a value verdict on goals?
No. Goals and assists are shown as a hit-rate record only — there is no modelled probability and no price comparison on either market. The markets SharpXI does model, and its record on them, are listed on the Championship markets page and the track record.
What does 1+ goals mean?
It is a bet that the player scores at least once in the match. It is the only goals line SharpXI tracks, because scoring twice is rare enough that a season's hit rate at 2+ would carry very little weight.
SharpXI is a statistical tool, not a betting operator, and no model guarantees a result. The honest scoreboard is closing-line value over a large sample. 18+ — please gamble responsibly.
